DESCRIPTION

I wrote this module in need of managing bunch of servers running dnsmasq.

It features some advanced features like:

  • Basic dnsmasq management (service, installation)
  • Cross-OS support (Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, FreeBSD)
  • Loads of options in basic config (ie TFTP) (If you need any additional option that does not supported in this module, just ping me)
  • Support for DHCP configuration.
  • Support for adding static DHCP records (MAC -> IP binding)
  • Support for adding static DNS records (IP -> hostname binding)
  • Support for DHCP options
  • Support for dnsmasq tagging system
  • And much more

DEPENDENCIES

  • puppet >= 2.6
  • puppetlabs/concat >= 1.0.0
  • puppetlabs/stdlib

DHCP server configuration

Will add DHCP support to dnsmasq. This can be used multiple times to setup multiple DHCP servers. Parameter "set" is optional, this one makes use of tagging system in dnsmasq Parameter "mode" is optional, please refer to dnsmasq man to see possible settings

dnsmasq::dhcp { 'my-awesome-subnet':
  set        => 'hadoop0' #optional
  mode       => 'static' #optional
  dhcp_start => '192.168.1.100',
  dhcp_end   => '192.168.1.200',
  netmask    => '255.255.255.0',
  lease_time => '24h'
}

Static DHCP record configuration

Will add static DHCP record to DHCP server with hostname. Please be aware that example-host will also be used as DNS name.

dnsmasq::dhcpstatic { 'example-host':
  mac => 'DE:AD:BE:EF:CA:FE',
  ip  => '192.168.1.10',
}

DHCP match configuration

Will add a dhcp match. Can be used for all types of options. DHCP match will be inserted before 'DHCP option'. It can be used multiple times.

dnsmasq::dhcpmatch {'example-match':
  content: 'IPXEBOOT,175'
}

Host record configuration

Will add static A, AAAA (if provided) and PTR record

dnsmasq::hostrecord { "example-host-dns,example-host-dns.int.lan":
  ip   => '192.168.1.20',
  ipv6 => 'FE80:0000:0000:0000:0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329' #optional
}

A record configuration

Will add static A record, this record will always override upstream data

dnsmasq::address { "example-host-dns.int.lan":
  ip => '192.168.1.20',
}

CNAME records

Will add canonical name record. Please note that dnsmasq cname is NOT regular cname and can be only for targets which are names from DHCP leases or /etc/hosts, so it's more like alias for hostname

dnsmasq::cname { "mail":
  hostname => "post"
}

SRV records

Will add srv record which always overrides upstream data. Priority argument is optional.

dnsmasq::srv { "_ldap._tcp.example.com":
  hostname => "ldap-server.example.com",
  port     => "389",
  priority => "1",
}

MX records

Will create MX (mail eXchange) record which always override upstream data

dnsmasq::mx { "maildomain.com":
  hostname   => "mailserver.com",
  preference => "50",
}

PTR records

Allows you to create PTR records for rDNS and DNS-SD.

dnsmasq::ptr { "_http._tcp.dns-sd-services":
  value => '"New Employee Page._http._tcp.dns-sd-services"'
}

TXT records

Allows you to create TXT records

dnsmasq::txt { "_http._tcp.example.com":
  value => "name=value,paper=A4"
}

(this actually should be done via array, will fix later)

DHCP option configuration

Will add dhcp option. Can be used for all types of options, ie:

  • numeric ( option => '53' )
  • ipv4-option ( option => 'option:router' )
  • ipv6-option ( option => 'option6:dns-server' )

Can be used multiple times.

dnsmasq::dhcpoption { 'my-awesome-dhcp-option':
  option  => 'option:router'
  content => '192.168.1.1',
  tag     => 'sometag', #optional
}

DHCP booting (PXE)

Allows you to setup different PXE servers in different subnets. tag is optional, you can use this to specify subnet for bootserver, using tag you previously specified in dnsmasq::dhcp Can be used multiple times.

dnsmasq::dhcpboot { 'hadoop-pxe':
  tag        => 'hadoop0', #optional
  file       => 'pxelinux.0',
  hostname   => 'newoffice', #optional
  bootserver => '192.168.39.1' #optional
}

Per-subnet domain

Allows you to specify different domain for specific subnets. Can be used multiple times.

dnsmasq::domain { 'guests.company.lan':
  subnet => '192.168.196.0/24',
}

DNS server

Configure the DNS server to query external DNS servers

dnsmasq::dnsserver { 'dns':
  ip => '192.168.1.1',
}

Or, to query specific zone

dnsmasq::dnsserver { 'forward-zone':
  domain => "dumb.domain.tld",
  ip     => "192.168.39.1",
  port   => '9001', #optional
}

DNS-RR records

Allows dnsmasq to serve arbitrary records, for example:

dnsmasq::dnsrr { 'example-sshfp':
    domain => 'example.com',
    type   => '44',
    rdata  => '2:1:123456789abcdef67890123456789abcdef67890'
}

Running in Docker containers

When running in a Docker container, dnsmasq tries to drop root privileges. This causes the following error:

dnsmasq: setting capabilities failed: Operation not permitted

In this case you can use the run_as_user to provide the appropriate user to run as:

class { 'dnsmasq':
  interface         => 'lo',
  listen_address    => '192.168.39.1',
  no_dhcp_interface => '192.168.49.1',
  ....
  run_as_user       => 'root',
}
